It really kind of sucked to be close to someone for so long and then suddenly not be anything anymore.

I'd never really babysat. I feel like I'm Blair, or 'Gossip Girl.' A teenager, basically - and now suddenly I'm a mom?

the only way to tolerate the thought of her mother sleeping with that man was to get drunk-very drunk.

Taste of metal on my tongue. Poison the color of envy- I'm delirious, you're delicious, I'm deluded and delusional. I'm lost without you. I need you.

When I was 16, 17, 18 years old, I felt like I had seen it all and done it all, and I was really kind of negative about everything.

I'm always saying that my books are not autobiographical because they're not. I can't choose any one scene and say, 'Oh, this is exactly what happened to me!' I just use little snippets of things as a starting point!

Destiny is for losers. It's just a lame excuse for letting things happen to you instead of making them happen.
